Come in Tuscany to meet me and my family! I am a dynamic person, flexible and open-mind. I love nature, and staying with friends at home in front of a glass of good wine.
I am a researcher in environmental impact assessment and mitigation strategies. This work allows me and my family to travel a lot, to live abroad (mostly in France and Luxembourg) and to continuosly enrich my multicultural network of friends and colleagues. I like to share my origins, and to stress that my roots are from Siena, one of the most beautiful city in the world...

The host, and his family were friendly and helpful. They did what was possible and required. The neighbourhood was terrific. We walked the country lanes, but no forest walks seemed available. Maybe further instruction could have been useful.

What a lovely property and apartment! A little piece of Tuscan heaven! My daughter and I enjoyed 3 nights and wish we had planned to spend more of our vacation with Benedetto and his lovely family. We were lucky to be in Siena for Il Palio....for which Benedetto gave us superb and detailed instructions to enjoy this once in a lifetime event! We cannot say enough good things about this host and the lovely little apartment, yard, view and pool. Grazie Mille!

Benedetto was a great host. We arrived really late our first night (after midnight), and Benedetto cheerfully greeted us. It was a little difficult for us to find the place, so I suggest that you get there while it's light outside. The apartment was cozy and perfect for what we were looking for: a place located in the rolling hills of Tuscany... just a few kilometers outside of Siena. We would recommend this place to other airbnb travelers.

Benedetto and his wife Sara are my close friends; they are very nice, helpful, generous and easy going people. They have a lovely and quiet little son, Tito. For sure they will made you feel at home immediately. Their house is also very nice and comfortable and you will have a pleasant stay in very good company!

Benedetto Rugani offers you so more than an accomodation: he offers an experience in the heart of the Tuscan countryside. Located on the border of the Chianti region and the Sienese Crete, from Benedetto’s place, castles, rolling hills with cypress trees, vineyards, olive-groves, holm oaks and arbutus, as well as small, traditional villages are all within view. Before leaving there, you will immediately be able to embrace everything with your heart and breathe it in with your soul, and then decide which portion of landscape to go and discover. You will feel as if you are inside a 14th century Sienese-school picture, but it will be a real and living drawing at your disposal.
Benedetto preserves his passion for Siena and its magic world. Together with his family, he opens to travellers the door to Tuscan lifestyle. They will recommend you the best way to enjoy The Palio and how to best move along the town streets discovering tastes, emotions and colours… you just have to leave the gorgeous corner of the Tuscan countryside, his house, which is dipped into its history and people.

Benedetto is a really nice and kind person. With experience living in several countries he has a multicultural profile, speaks several languages and loves to interact with people worldwide. He loves Siena and Toscana. I am sure he will be delighted to receive you in its Italy and give you any information you need about this very beautiful region, when you will go there.
